Who Needs To Register For An EORI Number

Who needs to register for an EORI number

If you are moving goods across borders, an EORI number may be essential for customs clearance. Whether trading with the EU, Northern Ireland, or beyond, knowing which type you need—GB, XI, or EU—can save time and hassle. Here's what you need to know.

The EORI number is required for the following situations:

• Moving goods between Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) or the Isle of Man and any other country, including EU member states.
• Moving goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
• Moving goods between Great Britain and the Channel Islands.
• Moving goods between Northern Ireland and countries outside the EU.
